Gentleman's Bag
« on: August 01, 2021, 01:54:12 AM »
Another one I will have available at thr CLA show and offer custom strap sizing.

This generously sized bag incorporates two of my handmade buckles. There is one on the shoulder strap and another one on the main flap closure. An outside pocket on the front body utilizes an original dug button that matches the other hardware very well. There are 3 internal pockets as well. Bound edges,, pockets and entries.. The straps are edged, creased and burnished and have both a fixed keeper at the buckle and a running keeper. Overall size is 12.5" wide by 10.75" tall.

Ooooooh.  Seeing that bag is like watching a video of Oscar Peterson playing live.  So much to take in, but it's all really good. 

There is a monster amount of fine work in that one.   

God Bless,  Marc

Gorgeous work, James!  My hands and fingers ache just looking at all that wonderful stitching.

Tim, they are just yellow brass and hocus pocused with a multitude of aging concoctions, mainly brass black and cold blue.

  I like " hocus pocuse", my problem is being able to repeat the outcome.
